I saw a cute idea not too long ago to make a “family mailbox.” I thought it would be a fun way to share notes with both Kieran and Tom. We got a cheapie mailbox and decorated it.
And then I got the brilliant idea to make felt mail. I have been working on this flipping felt mail for months. Months. I finally finished them in time for Valentine’s Day.
I used this tutorial and this tutorial for inspiration and instructions. Here is what I came up with:
Envelopes
The to/from address labels are Velcroed on, and I can write on them if Kieran so desires.
Post Cards
He’s visited Kansas, New Mexico, and Florida; I made Washington for a friend of ours. Here are the backs:
So there’s the craftiness that has consumed me for the past few weeks. What have you been doing? Please share – I need some new ideas!

Very cute! Lexi still uses the felt mail that I made, but ours isn’t as pretty as yours!
You should change your name to Code Name: Crafty! That’s awesome!
So adorable!!! Does Family Mail include mail for and from Grandparents too????
Super cute! I made felt food for my niece for her birthday and she won’t even let her momma play with it she likes it so much.
Oh I LOVE that idea, I probably wouldn’t do the felt mail but I think with my oldest, it would help with his writing and how to properly send correspondence… awesome!
Can I send some real mail to Kieran’s mailbox?
Uh, yes! And I need you to email me your address, we have real mail for you gathering dust!
I made a mailbox out of a quaker oats tube that I cut a slit in the side of and made a little stand for. Then covered it in fabric and stickers etc :) So the lid comes off and on easily to get the mail out of.
That’s fantastic. What a great idea! If I was half as crafty I’d give this a go for my girls.
oh that felt mail is soooo cute! Great idea
What a fun idea! I love it! Where did you buy the mailbox?
It was from our local hardware store – I think True Value.
I like this idea of a mailbox for the classroom. Children can write each other notes and put them in the mailbox. The next day someone can be the mailman and hand out the letters. I will pass this idea on to other teachers.
gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous
I love your gorgeous felt mail, what a fabulous idea.
What a fantastic idea….love it
